The Girl on the Mountain Lyrics
There's a girl up on the mountain I once knew
I let her go and now I'm sad and blue
But sometimes late at night, I pray
She'd come down to me some day
But the girl up on the mountain never knew
So she gave herself to someone else back then
Thought I'd never see her face again
I found a new love of my own
Broke my heart and now she's gone
But the girl up on the mountain still remains
I wish I may, I wish I might
Won't every star see the night
A million diamonds up above
Shine down on the one I love

The poets have a thousand tales to tell
The battle of love, it didn't work out well
And me, I sleep out right at night
'Cause here my dreams will hold up tight
But the girl up on the mountain's up there still
Oh, I love her now, and I guess I always will
